If your store already uses Zendesk — or if you need enterprise-level customer service infrastructure — Zendesk Chat is the natural choice.
What Is Zendesk Chat for PrestaShop?
Zendesk Chat (formerly known as Zopim) is the live chat component of the Zendesk Suite — the customer service platform used by over 100,000 businesses worldwide, including Uber, Slack, Shopify, and Airbnb. It provides live chat functionality backed by Zendesk's enterprise infrastructure for routing, analytics, and ticket management.
This module integrates the Zendesk Chat widget into your PrestaShop store. Configure it with your Zendesk Chat Account Key, and the widget appears on your storefront — connected to your Zendesk agent workspace where all customer interactions (chat, email, phone, social) are managed in one place.
Enterprise Triggers & Routing
- Proactive triggers — define complex rules: "If visitor is on checkout page AND has been there for 60+ seconds AND cart value is over $100, send message from Sales team"
- Skills-based routing — match incoming chats to agents based on language, product expertise, or custom skills
- Department routing — customers choose or are automatically routed to Sales, Support, Returns, etc.
- Operating hours — define business hours per department, auto-switch to offline mode outside hours
- Chat limit per agent — prevent agent overload by capping concurrent chats
- Overflow routing — when primary agents are full, route to backup agents or departments
Zendesk Suite Integration
Zendesk Chat becomes exponentially more powerful within the Zendesk ecosystem:
- Zendesk Support — every chat automatically creates a ticket. Agents see full ticket history in the chat sidebar.
- Zendesk Guide — knowledge base articles surface in the chat widget for self-service
- Zendesk Explore — advanced analytics and custom reporting across all channels
- Zendesk Sunshine — custom objects and events for deep customer context
- Unified agent workspace — agents manage chat, email, phone, and social from one screen
